I've started to do research on vinyl replacement double hung windows and so far a few companies that I've seen have shown me Polaris (Unishield from Universal Windows Direct), Gorrel and United Windows & Door Manufactering.

I'm replacing old single pane wood windows with vinyl double hung windows and I'd like some opinions which company and model would be better.

On a side note, my in laws property needs a few windows that need to be dark brown according to the association, I heard if I went with Vinyl the dark brown would fade (at least in the past this seemed to have happened), I'm not sure if is still a problem with vinyl windows these days though.

So I checked out the Okna windows and I must say I'm impressesed. I had a dealer quote me $600 each (14 windows total) for a Starmark DH w/ internal grids (capping included). I'm getting this price because I'm doing siding as well.

I think I got a pretty reasonable deal. He also said if I went with the one lower than the starmark, it'll be $100 cheaper and the same U-Value as the Starmark's which were .24

Wow! That sounds like an amazing deal... Starmark is a very high end product, and that is a very nice price. I'd jump all over that!

Polaris Ultra windows have a 20 year warranty on exterior paint. That's one of the best warranties I've seen for exterior color..On a side note, United is not considered high quality and is not in the same league as Polaris or Okna.

did you get your windows installed, and how do you like the contractor for the installation? I'm also looking for vinyl replacement windows, and narrowed down to Okna. would like to get a quote from the company you used if you recommend them.

francini, in case jly does not post back, there are two board pros that serve different parts of NJ and have access to that product. Either anthony or masterext should cover your area and either would do a great job for you.
